While Cohen completed the full 90 minutes, Forest were dealt another injury blow when Jamie Ward was subbed with a hamstring injury.

Freedman added: “It looks like a hamstring problem, unfortunately for Jamie. It is difficult for us right now and what we do not want to do is let the season slip away. We want to try to get a few of our injured players back.

“Jamie looks like he will be out for a couple of weeks, depending on how bad the problem is.

“But he is a player who recovers quite quickly from injuries so, with a little bit of luck, hopefully it will only be two or three weeks. We also hope to have Oliver Burke back soon.

“There is no coincidence that we are in this disappointing run, because we are missing key players and it is starting to hurt us.
